As a kid, I had a fascination with taking pictures.  My father even set up a black and white darkroom for me.  But as an adolescent, I found other interests to occupy my time (we need not go there).  For many years I would only pick up a camera to record my friendships of the times.   

In 2001 I become certified diver.  The next year I bought my first underwater camera setup, an Olympus E20 with a Light and Motion housing. Thus began a love affair with photography.  In late 2004 I upgraded to a Canon Mark II with a Seacam housing, only to upgrade again to a Canon Mark III 1ds which is my present camera.   This is one expensive love affair..........
